SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. .298,601, dated May 13, 1884:.

' Application filed August 18, 1853. (Ne model.) v

Io ali whom it may conccrn:

Be it known that I, STEPHEN W. MAXsoN, of Dassel, in the county of Meeker and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Tables, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide for adj ustnient of tables upon uneven floors or on ground not level, so as to support the table firmly and prevent shaking or jostling The invention consists in fitting the two legs at one side or end on a rocking bar, by which the level may be changed according to the i character of the floor or other surface, as hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference in dicate correspond ing` parts.

In the drawings, Figure l is an end elevation of atablewith my improvement, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section on line x x of Fig. 1.

The table A is of ordinary Construction, ex'- cept as hereinafter specified, having top a, side and end rail's, b Z), and made with the two legs c c at one end of the table attached firmly, as shown in Fig. 2. The two legs c c' at the opposite end are attached to the ends of a bar, d, and the bar (Z is pivoted to the end rail, b, at its mid-length by a screw-pin, e, that passes through the rail and through a nut, f, fixed to the inuer surface of the rail. On the outer end of the pin e is a knob, g, for use in turning the screw in tightening or looseningit; butany suitable device may be used in place of the knob. By this Construction, the two legs c being attached to the bar d, and the latter pivoted to the end rail, the bar and legs can be rocked transversely of the table, andor jointed in the middle, each portion carrying a leg, and the clamping devce may be made separate from the pivot.

Having thus described my nvention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The pivoted bar d and legs c', fixed to the bar, combined with a table having fixed legs opposite to the side or end where the bar is attached, substantially as described.

S. W. MAXSON.
